If anything I'd like to see aviansie in the background, but alone it looks awesome.

Pretty awesome! Totally digging it! I guess I'll be the third person who'll comment on the smoke covering up a lot of details. You have a lot of very crisp details in the previous WIP that seemed to went to waste when you smoked over it. You should instead try and use the smoke to create depth, making it transparent on the areas closer to you (the arm and hand) and gradually add opacity to the areas further than you (caveat: I only observe this with fog, I don't know how well it works with creating smoke). You could can probably try add some thicker areas in the front to give volume and create puffiness. And don't forget to add little illuminated dust particles in the light!
As for Zilyana, I think it would be a nice little touch. Just create a sillouhette of her under the fog and I would suggest her leaving in the direction of the wall (at least that's what I'm assuming that is) with some mildly outstretched wings. Pretty easy to add in without investing too much time and it would be awesome to see more of your wings haha

I love the detail on the wings and helmet, it's absolutely stunning.
However, as mentioned by another commenter, I think there are too much lighting and smoke effects. It covers up most of the details, and is a bit distracting (at least to me). I'm not saying that it's not necessary, but maybe not to this extreme degree where it covers most of the background and foreground. I actually thought the lighting and smoke detail in your second progress pic was just right.
I'm still in awe in the detail in your feathers though. Amg.
As for the Zilyana silhouette in the background, I don't think it's necessary. I think the focus should be 100% on Kree and Zyliana's silhouette would weaken that in my opinion.
Can't wait to see the final product ^.^

The fate of Kree's badassery lies in your hands.

ooh you continue to work on it! I was worried you may stop cause you're too late. Thank god! You put a lot of detail into it it'd be a shame for all the effort :3
personally it hink you went a bit over the board with the light effects, that killed some of the details like the smoke light thingies on the helmet and also several strokes on the feathers that you worked so hard for. although the light rays and the smoke make for a great effect, it shouldnt cover up that much of the work already done
i also dont think you should add zilyana. There is a bit of empty space to the left, sure. But I culd imagine that'd be rather distracting to have another chara in here unless you broaden things up

Yea... messin' with lens glare... I wanted it to feel like you were the adventurer looking up at her after she broke through the roof, and I wanted to try to take advantage of the contrast between the bright light daytime of outside, to the sort-of dank dark coldness of the inside of the cavern, overall, its turning out alright, gotta make some adjustments to the light.... and add some more lines to those dust clouds.... a cast shadow over dust looks pretty damn cool..... but anyway, this should turn out to be one of my better pieces, and I'm super glad everyone likes it as much as I do.... lol the only reason I posted this picture back up on here before I finished it was because I wasn't quite sure what I should do with the left side of the picture, there used to be a pedestal lantern thing there... but I thought it looked better without it...
Glad you like it and thanks for the feedback!

its a she?XD lol i didnt realize that XD
hm..i see what you are trying to do here then, hm..but with all the smoke it seems very bright overall and if you really want a stark contracst to the light source behind she herself must nearly be dark too as you are sorta blinded no? hmmm..but then you'd lose even more of the detail..hmmm...well i am sure you will figure something out about it
yeh i recall the pedestal, i think i like it better without hm..but it was just sketched there the last time so if its more part of the background it might still be fine oh well XD
